With a passion for conservation especially in regards to plant taxonomy, systematics and ethnobotany, I want to engage in research that contributes to protecting the environment and to know the importance of plants, sustainably. My original interest in plant systematics was captured during my graduation time in BSc Botany at PG college Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, India. I strive to continue expanding my skills and learning new techniques whilst applying those I have gained throughout my academic and professional journey, to contribute to a sustainable future.
